So when officers violate this basic tenet of their profession, their supervisors cannot turn a blind eye. It seems, though, that's exactly what has happened in the case of two Ontario Provincial Police officers accused of giving dishonest testimony at a court trial. Judge Hugh Fraser presided over the 1997 trial of Acting Sergeant Kenneth Deane who was charged, and later convicted, of criminal negligence in the shooting death of Dudley George. Fraser ruled that Deane was ``not honest'' in his statements to investigators and the court. And the judge said the evidence of Constable Chris Cossett, was ``clearly fabricated and implausible.'' This conduct by both officers warranted swift discipline. But now, two years after the trial, the force says it will not take action against Cossett or Deane, who remains on the force while he appeals his conviction. OPP brass seem to be saying that it's okay for officers to be dishonest and fabricate evidence. That's unacceptable. If they are unwilling to act, then the solicitor-general must.
